What about Road Block Paulie!
We need to get the Road Block (Mark) into the leader board.  As Parkesey already mentioned he is beating the Rookie for the Caltex Golden Helmet Award for most promising rider of the year.  Another thing, we have to subtract 2 from the Rookie to counteract him voting for himself.  Just kidding.  String

Must confess I too voted for myself and Pirate for that matter,.....but only once unlike Rookie who obviously voted for himself at least three or four times!!!! C'mon Rookie, fess up we all know it's true - fair enough you are somewhere in the mix for top 10 or so amongst Caltex ranks but that's about as good as gets. Another way would be for me to call for all those who voted for Rookie to reply to this and advise that they did so,....sadly I am expecting at least 4 e-mails titled,...."Sam Ball - Rookie Posted....."

Very early days Nick, I'm sure towards the end of the year we can vote on a list of awards and have a pre Chrissy drink!
The Poll will only allow one vote per person and as of tomorrow only the group memebers  suscribed to the Caltex Crew will be able to vote!
We need to get the other boys on board.
When you go into the group...you can invite a friend to the group. All you need is their email address.
Give a go!
See you tomorrow!
PD.
 

Stu,
How  did the boys go on weekend?
Any feedback from the rides?
PD.

Took a new Giant TCR Advanced out for a bash yesterday, rides well. Have decided that for beach rd and the flat there is virtually no difference between these flash new superlight carbon jobs and my old Jalopy. The difference is really only on the hills, oh and I guess the gear changes are a bit smoother on the new number. Will try the new madone next week. More importantly how did the Southern Vets club champs go??

The race panned out the way I anticapated ,  after 15km's warm up the 1st hill smashed the group! Had my HR at 183bpm, 2 jockeys got away then myself & 2 others chased. One of the guys sat on for about 20 mins. The race was 70km's, we couldn't catch the 2 guys and out of us it was a sprint for 3rd
Rocket did well chasing the 2 guys that were away in his group...doing a 50km TT on a hilly track with head/cross wind averaging 39kph. Awesome effort!!
.PD.

Better add a couple of new "late entries" to the bike Poll, have moved a fair way from the Giant / Trek area,  curently weighing up between Colnago and Pinarello..... Stumbled across a 'sweet slightly used" Pinarello with a Chorus/Record blend groupset. Starting to fall for the good old classic Italian!!!

Doesnt Sean Bruce ride a Pinnarello?
Oh no the outlook for the 6am bunch is not good if you get on one of those babies, I cand see lots of escapes going off the front of the bunch.

Business must be booming for Banga!...Pinnarello$, Colnago$$.
PD.

Not quite PD. Note: Colnago = CLX (hardly an Extreme Power or C50!) Pinarello = "slightly used" Has done a couple of thousand kms and is about 4K off retail Heath Bludger Esq. (AKA Big Willy Boonen)
